Hannibal Sauce

  • 🥄 Hannibal Sauce (easy at-home version)

    Start with:

    • ½ cup mayonnaise

    • 1–2 tbsp ketchup

    • 1–2 tsp mustard (Dijon or yellow)

    Then add:

    • 1–2 tbsp finely chopped onion (or shallot)

    • 1 tbsp finely chopped pickles or relish

    Balance it:

    • 1 tsp vinegar (or pickle juice 👀)

    • Pinch of sugar (if needed)

    • Salt + pepper

    🔥 What you’re aiming for:

    • Slightly sweet

    • Tangy

    • Little crunch from onion/pickle

    • Creamy but not bland

    💡 Pro move (and I highly recommend this):

    Let it sit 10–15 minutes before serving

    👉 The onion softens, flavors meld, and it goes from “good” to “oh wow”

    🥩🥔 With your dinner:

    • Unreal with the finger steaks (cuts the richness)

    • Perfect with the mashed potatoes (honestly dangerous)

    • Even good dragged through the broccoli if you’re feeling wild

    If you want to dial it:

    • More ketchup → sweeter

    • More mustard/vinegar → sharper

    • More onion → more bite
